Reverend Ebenezer Ahumah Djietror, Head of the Table of Office in Parliament, has said the prayers offered by the nation on March 25, 2020 against the coronavirus pandemic will surely be answered by God.
“God will heal the nation,” Rev Djietror said in an interview with the Ghana News Agency on Thursday, adding; “The Almighty God is hearer and answerer of prayer, who takes note of the entreaties of the faithful, and answers accordingly.”
Rev Djietror urged Ghanaians to observe the recommended health and safety protocols as washing hands with soap under running water, sanitizing the hands with alcohol-based sanitizers, covering nose and mouth when coughing, and avoiding handshakes as they continued to seek the face of God for a solution against the pandemic.
Parliament on Wednesday, March 25, 2020, led by the Speaker, Rev Prof Aaron Michael Oquaye, joined the nation on the request of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to pray and fast to seek the face of God in dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic.
Reverend Djietror said Ghana was in extraordinary times, hence the need to observe fasting and prayer; and challenged believers in Christ to engage in such communal religious exercises from time to time.
“The disease has defied scientific and medical intervention; hence we all have to turn to God for solace,” Rev Djietror said, and recalled that throughout human history, there had been events that made people fear God and drew them closer to Him.
“If you draw closer to God, he will draw closer to you,” Rev Djietror said.
He called on all to go into what he described as “the laboratory of personal self-examination and introspection,” and said: “I strongly believe there’ll be light at the end of the tunnel.”
As of Thursday, April 2, 2020, the Ghana Health Service has reported that Ghana has recorded 204 COVID-19 confirmed cases with five deaths and three recoveries.
